What are the reasons for not wanting a national enquiry?

hypochondriac Posted January 8 Posted January 8 4 hours ago, sadoldgit said: So Kemi Badenoch has now decided that the Asian grooming gangs issue is a national scandal. It is odd that it wasn’t such a big deal when her party was in power and it is odd, as it was a national scandal, that her party did absolutely nothing to implement the 20 action points from the last report. It seems that things are only a national scandal when you are desperate to deflect from your own incompetence and are desperate to score political points but have little to fight with. She talks about smearing British Muslims ignoring the fact that Jenrick does it on a regular basis. No support either for another female MP who has faced death threats following Musks racist and defamatory comments He called Jess Phillips a rape apologist which is absolutely disgusting. I think you've also done the same thing on here but there really is no place for that kind of language in polite society:

But this Bill would not be the appropriate way to introduce it, the amendment gives nothing additional to the Bill, it is deliberately destructive and distracting.. The Tories could have created an enquiry in 2022, 2023, or 2024, but chose not to. As I said, there may well be scope for the possibility of such an enquiry to be debated, but playing such pathetic games is unseemly. Edited January 8 by badgerx16 1

badgerx16 Posted January 9 Posted January 9 (edited) To be clear, this is the amendment the Tories and Reform supported. "That this House, while welcoming measures to improve child protection and safeguarding, declines to give a Second Reading to the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill because it undermines the long-standing combination of school freedom and accountability that has led to educational standards rising in England, effectively abolishes academy freedoms which have been integral to that success and is regressive in approach, leading to worse outcomes for pupils; because it ends freedom over teacher pay, making it harder to attract and retain good teachers; because it ends freedom over Qualified Teacher Status, making teacher recruitment harder; because it removes school freedoms over the curriculum, leading to less innovation; because repealing the requirements for failing schools to become academies and for all new schools to be academies will undermine school improvement and remove the competition which has led to rising standards; because the Bill will make it harder for good schools to expand, reducing parental choice and access to a good education; and calls upon the Government to develop new legislative proposals for children’s wellbeing at the same time as establishing a national statutory inquiry into historical child sexual exploitation, focused on grooming gangs." The first highlighted text shows the original purpose of the amendment, the second was a late addition to hide their intentions. Edited January 9 by badgerx16

rallyboy Posted February 13 Posted February 13 She wasted every question, it was a pathetic performance. What ever the flavour of government is, a strong opposition is a sensible idea. But surrounded by the bewildered halfwit survivors of The Johnson and Sunak Corruption Clusterfuck, Kemi is making Ed Davey look like Nelson Mandela. 4
Jeremy Corbyn Posted February 13 Posted February 13 I thought the Tories would do anything to avoid another leader turnover but she's objectively really poor.

Unless the MPs can take control of the selection process, as they did when Sunak was shoehorned in, any new leader will be another deadbeat. Tory members are so out of touch with the rest of the country they will want another Kemi / Truss type. 1

Starmer must relish PMQs whereas even Blair used to dread them. The Tories are between a rock and a hard place. Do they go through another drama of a leadership contest or do they stick with what they have in the hope that Badenoch loses her arrogance and learns how to become a party leader. Farage has them by the short and curlies. They are so concerned about Reform that they seem more intent over a fight over 2nd and 3rd rather than showing voters that they have learnt from their mistakes are can be trusted with government again. Farage has done what he does well. He gets everyone talking about immigration. As with Trump, he blames all of our ills on foreigners when the real major issues are elsewhere. He is playing Badenoch like a cheap fiddle.

Course you’d “definitely say something now” for one it’s easy to be brave after the event, it's easy to type from behind your screen what you'd definitely do now and the bandwagon says it’s not acceptable any more so you'd have loads of support.

What surprises me is that some don’t double check and correct any “mistakes” by the time they reach high office given that everything they have ever done will be under scrutiny by those wanting to score points against them.
